Since no two jobs are quite the same, gateshead has a real mix of drains. Low Fell has old Victorian clay pipes. Post-war estates often have ageing pitch fibre instead. A CCTV survey shows us exactly what is down there.
Contact us to arrange a time that suits you. We arrive at your Gateshead property, with the survey equipment ready. You don't need to prepare anything.
Since every property differs, we access the drainage system through manholes or inspection chambers. Then we feed a high-definition camera through the whole pipe network.
The camera still sends live footage straight to a monitor. As we go, we spot cracks, root damage, displaced joints, and other faults.
You get a written report with annotated screenshots and a summary of the pipe's condition. We also include clear, prioritised advice on any repairs you may need.
While every job differs, we send a camera through your drain from a manhole or chamber. It records the full pipe run as it goes. You get a written report with clear photos. We flag any faults and what to do next.
Local tip: Thinking of buying in Low Fell or Whickham? Ask for a CCTV drain survey before you exchange. Many older homes there still have their original clay pipes. Spotting a fault early can save you real money.
The cost depends on your property's size and how complex the drainage is. Larger networks, and properties such as post-war housing estates, Victorian terraces in Low Fell and Saltwell, and modern waterfront apartments, take longer to survey. Ask for a fast, fixed-price quote online, and we confirm the price upfront.
We strongly recommend a pre-purchase drain survey for Gateshead properties, especially older ones. Hidden drainage faults can still cost thousands to fix, since standard homebuyer surveys don't cover them. A CCTV check gives you negotiating power and peace of mind.
A typical Gateshead survey takes one to two hours. You get the full report soon after, with annotated footage. Larger or more complex properties may need a little longer.
